Hello and welcome to the fancast of Justice League Dark. With a upcoming film to be DIrected by Gullermo Del Toro, here are my picks for the main characters. I do alway try and be original with my choices therefore you may not see the more popular choices seen on other fancasts.
Anyway I look forward to all your feedback.






John Constantine:  John Constantine, the Occult detective from Liverpool. Uses his cunning and smarts to get him out of dangerous situations.  Has great knowledge of the Supernatural, which make him a formidable opponent to evil. More of an Anti-Hero than straight out heroic. Was initially designed to look like Sting when he was fist created.

Jonathan Rhys Meyers: Intense actor who has gone from strength to strength as his career has continued.  Was a great Henry in The Tudors as well as a fantastic Dracula. Shown in previous choice that he is not afraid of playing iconic characters. Has also starred in many genres, including romance and comedy. I believe that he has the skill to portray John Constantine and all the facets of his character. Also he looks like the character in that picture on the far right.  Is English so should hopefully be able to do a scouse accent.





Zatanna Zatara:  Zatanna is one of the most powerful sorceresses in the DC universe, with her abilities being possibly genetic.  In tribute to her father, Giovanni Zatara, she usually casts her spells by speaking verbal commands backwards. Also is a notable Stage Magician. Her powers also include Telekenisis and telepathy.

Zooey Deschanel: Stunning actress who looks like Zatanna.  Is captivating on New Girl, and has shown great talent in films like (500) Days of Summer and Our Idiot Brother. Has starred in films of various genres, and has the skills to portray all of Zatana's characteristics, being able to bring a certain innocence to the role.  Similar in age to Jonathan Rhys Meyers, I believe that they would have chemistry.




 
Deadman: Also known as Boston Brand is a supernatural superhero and ghost. Former Circus Trapeze artist, who was murdered by a mysterious assailent. His spirit haunts the mortal realm and brings justice to those who need it. Can possess the living as he cannot otherwise come into contact with others. 

Zachary Quinto: Famously has played Spock on the big screen where he is able to portray the complicated Vulcan with real intensity and emotion when required. Was fantastic as Sylar in season one of Heroes where he played the baddie with threatening and evil menace, before they tried to make him a hero. Has the stature to portray Deadman, and surely will play the character with true heroism. Surely is due a comic book movie role. 




Shade the Changing Man:  An Alien from the Planet Meta.  Fights using the M Vest which gives him powers to generate a  strong force-field that grants him limited invulnerability and flight, in addition to projecting a distorted version of his image to any opponents. Also is a shape shifter and has the powers of duplication.
 
Tom Mison: British actor and most probably well known for playing Ichabod Crane. Admittedly this is the only thing that I have seen  him in but he portrays the character with humour as well as intensity when required. Would be able to play the fish out of water aspect of Shade quite well with him being an alien. 




Madame Xanadu:  Mystic and fortune teller, her history is connected to that of Camelot.  She focuses her powers of occult sensitivity through tarot cards.  Xanadu can levitate objects, teleport herself, and banish demons. Madame Xanadu is immortal, never aging and unable to die of natural causes thanks to her deal with Death.

Olga Kurylenko: Exotic actress who has a lot of experience  starring in action films, with leading roles in Quantom of Solace and November Man. Would be able to portray the immortal Xanadu with calmness and intelligence. 




Frankentstein:  Undead creature stitched together from several corpses, as per Mary Shelleys book, although his appearance is more similar to the Hammer horror films. Became a government agent, taking care of supernatural threats with his flaming sword and flintlock pistol.  He has superhuman strength and does not need to eat or sleep.

Hafthór Júlíus Björnsson: Stars as the fearsome Gregor Clegane in Game of Thrones, where his size as well as the brutality of the character make him an intimidating prospect. Would be able to portray a huge Frankenstein owing to his natural stature. 



Swamp-Thing: He is an elemental creature who shares a connection to all plant life on the planet Earth through a network called the Green. He is a mass of vegetable matter that absorbed the memories and personality of Alec Holland, a botanist who died in a swamp shortly after creating a hormonal Bio-Restorative Formula for plants.

Eric Bana: Fantastic actor and someone who initially made his breakthrough in Hollywood playing the Hulk, and of course had starred in Black Hawk Down. Was the best thing in Troy and played a tormented character in The Time Travellers Wife. Has starred in films of many genres and is a superb actor. Would be able to portray the Humanity behind the monster of Swamp-Thing. He needs to play Solid Snake if a films is ever made of Metal Gear Solid. 




Anyway, thank you for taking the time to read my fancast.  Follow me on Twitter @simply_az

Peace and  Love,

Simply Az

Nice list, I like your choices for Constantine and Zatanna. Here's a list of people if like to see.

Constantine: Ewan McGregor
Swamp Thing: Ron Pearlman
Deadman: Doug Jones
Zatanna: Mila Kunis

I know I'll probably get a lot of crap for my last pick. Maybe Quinto would be a good Jason Blood.

@FoxStrikePhenom glad you liked it. Your choices are interesting as well and would also be great. My first choice for Constantine was Simon Baker but then I decided that I wanted someone a bit younger.

Pretty cool cast, I think Meyers is really different and has the potential to be really great as Constantine, not sure why the role never came to mind, but it fits!

As for the rest, admittedly, my reading of Justice League Dark has been pretty minimal, but Quinto, Mison, Kurlyenko and Bana feel pretty well cast; Bana in particular is one that just sits really well.

The only choice that feels off is Deschanel, as much as I find her hilarious and cute, I can't help but want someone more 'sexy' and exotic for it.

Anyway, was just wondering, do you have anyone in mind for Jason Blood/Etrigan? I myself dont, but from reading Injustice feel he should be included to some extent given Madame Xandu was- getting back on track though, nice cast, and keeping short and sweet is a nice change of pace (lol).

Justice League Dark, love the book, this should be exciting
- Jonathan is a great actor and can certainly carry the role, but he frankly looks odd Blonde, wonderful pick.
- I have a soft spot for Zooey, smokin' hot. She would be amazing.
- Zach is awesome and I'm glad you used him as a Superhero.
- Wonderful pick using Ol' Ichabod. Wonderful pick.
- Great Xandu.
- Wonderful Choice using Hafthor, I have plans for him as well.
- Love Eric Bana, he'd be great.

@A2K I had forgotten about Jason Blood maybe Andrew Lincoln, let him play a bit of a bad guy, or maybe Damien Lewis.
Who would you put for Zatanna?

@BobGarlen Glad you liked it.

I choose Odette Annabelle initially but admittedly would go with someone different in hindaight; not sure admittedly, but I guess I'd cast it as if I was casting Catwoman, albeit a little more exotic- can't remember the actress's full name, I think it's Jessica Padre; Don Draper's wife on Mad Men, but I think she'd be ingesting though seems more suited for a seasoned incarnation of the character as opposed to a fresh faced take.

Damn, all of these choices are great. Very original too, nice job.

I'm really happy to see Eric Bana as one of your picks. I've always thought should get another chance at a comic book movie. The reason the Hulk was bad, wasn't because of him but the script instead. Other then that film he always stands out as an excellent actor.

Zooey is an interesting choice for Zatanna. I always wanted Evangeline Lily, but that ship sailed. Zooey isn't who I would have picked for the job. But that doesn't mean she's a bad choice. I see her more as the comedy type person. But it's because of the jobs she takes more then those are all she can do. After looking at the picture of her next to Zatanna, I would like to see how she would play the character. I don't know if she could go into the crazy dark version of Zatanna. But there's many different versions of Zatanna, not just the mind messer one.

Olga excellent choice. I could say reasons why she is, but there really is no need. Just watch her in different movies and you will see why should would be great. Plus she was one of the finalists for Wonder Woman, so WB already likes her.

Tom is someone I never would have even thought about playing Shade, yet I enjoy Sleepy Hollow. After seeing this choice I can see it working.

As for the rest I don't know enough about them or think they are the right choice, so I can't comment on them.

@A2K actually I think Odette Annabelle would be an interesting choice.
@MrNiklander and @acorsi11 Glad you both liked it.
@BlackIceJoe Thanks for the feedback, glad you found the choices interesting.

- Not sure I see Rhys-Meyers as Constantine. James MacAvoy is better. Watch Filth.
- I could never see Zooey Deschanel in a serious role. Unless Zatanna would've been part of Justice League International. Talk about a dropped ball. I'm with Jessica Lowndes, because of her work in 90210, and the fact that she's drop-dead gorgeous.



- Never heard of Shade the Changing Man. Perhaps I'll get into either Justice League Dark or Sleepy Hollow down the road.
- I think Olga has promising acting chops. She's just stuck with awful scripts after another.
- Re-upload your Frankenstein picture, it didn't show up.
- Interesting Swamp Thing.

SimplyAz - 2/26/2015, 8:49 AM
@MikeZ Glad you liked a couple of picks. I considered McAvoy but wanted an original actor who hadn't been in a CBM before and wasn't on every single fancast. I agree that Lowndes is hot but have never seen 90210. Check out Sleepy Hollow. The Frankenstein picture seems to have come back by itself.

I still think Paul Bettany would be awesome as Constantine...Just he is Vision so it is not gonna happen...Maybe the guy who play Constantine in the TV series or Jude Law?

@SimplyAz - Love it man, especially the Deadman and Constantine picks (Although Matt Ryan kills) I am a HUGE Deadman fan so I hope he gets his show like the rumors said way back when.
SimplyAz
SimplyAz - 2/27/2015, 1:29 AM
@BigChinese I would love for Matt Ryan to continue personally

@DonkeyTeeth I'm glad you liked it and the TV show is fantastic.

@SimplyAz really like that list there's some interesting choices, I like the idea of Zooey Deschanel as Zatanna feel she would do well in a serious role, also like the Rhys Meyers for Constantine if they don't stick with Matt Ryan

Great cast, man. Love Zooey. I kinda wish you had used Simon Baker like you mentioned but there is nothing wrong with Myers. Thumbed for sure
SimplyAz
SimplyAz - 3/6/2015, 4:57 AM
@PietroMaximoff Glad you liked it. Am a fan of Simon Baker owing to THe Mentalist.
Also Like Zooey, although that needs no explanation.

@JerelKrypton30 Glad you liked it and thanks for reading it. These were mainly the members that I saw in the New 52 version that I read and Shade was in it so I included him but your description of him made me laugh.
I've always liked Constantine having read his original series and liked how complicated he is.

BigChinese - 3/10/2015, 9:47 PM
Simon Baker would be great but I really hope that they would find a real English for the role.
SimplyAz
SimplyAz - 3/11/2015, 1:49 AM
@BigChinese That's why I went for an English man in the end for Constantine

@SimplyAz Good choice!

@SimplyAz - Good stuff man! Just a heads up tho, Jonathan Rhys Meyers is Irish not English.
SimplyAz
SimplyAz - 4/8/2015, 3:58 PM
@Ryden Glad you liked it. Yes, your right he is Irish, to be fair I'd forgotten.
Thanks.

I like it. I've never been a big fan of the property, but I feel like with a cast like this (especially Quinto) you could generate a rather interesting film.
SimplyAz
SimplyAz - 5/4/2015, 12:22 PM
@DarkKhan Glad you liked it. Quinto is an awesome actor, lets hope he gets a Comic Book Movie soon.
